When an image is drag-dropped or pasted as a file path into the TUI, the absolute file path is now preserved and passed through to the message system. This allows tools (like look_at from plugins) to access the file path even when the model doesn't support vision.

Issue for this PR
Closes #17488
Type of change
What does this PR do?
When an image is drag-dropped into the TUI, the absolute file path was not being preserved. The source.path field was set to just the filename instead of the full path. This meant tools (like look_at from plugins) couldn't access the file, even though it existed on disk.
Changes:
prompt/index.tsx: When pasting an image file path, resolve it to an absolute path before storing insource.path
message-v2.ts: Pass the source path as the filename field so it's visible to the model when buildingmessages
transform.ts: When a model doesn't support images, show the file path in the error message so the modelcan suggest using the Read tool
